The Unexplained

          Paranormal is characterized as unusual experiences that have no current scientific explanation for it's very existence. As early as the Salem Witch Trials date back, what could not be explained was then feared. For its measurement of capability may exceeded our intelligence could pose a threat to human survival. Humans are naturally curious, being so from the moment of birth, but it wasn't till recent that the unexplainable transitioned from threatening to desirable. This transition took place once survival circumstances were established and so then the simultaneous  stride for success began. Now, what we can't scientifically explain challenges our capabilities as a dominant species to find answers to questions and solutions to problems. Our growing intelligence over time has not only changed our physical appearances but has also altered our desires to become more competitive individually San as a whole.

           In today's popular culture, there are supernatural themed entrainment has become acceptable and mainstream. It's what our culture prefers. My theory is that the possible existence of another world fascinates us and  therefore is an opportunity to escape our man made scientifically explained world by getting lost in a mysterious book, estranged film, or getting our fortunes told. Something about getting ones fortune told allows them the fell prepared and aware through the guidance of  higher powers and mysterious  forces.

            In today's popular culture, the supernatural has become acceptable and desirable. All forms of entertainment is base on the mysterious supernatural. A lot of time our fascination for the unknown is driven by the motive to escape our man made  scientifically explained home to a place where your not in control. For instance, getting lost in a the television series Supernatural will do that for you. The series provides an opportunity for the viewers to be exposed to the best and worst of both worlds.

                 The strike of fear in us Americans we seem to experience at the mere association of the supernatural symbolizes a challenge, an existence we have yet to master the understanding of. It is something we have yet to conquer and prove our dominance.
